IE Is a Pain

I finally installed IE7 on the new laptop I got from my office. The reason is because IE7 is now in its release version, so I have to prepare for the big convert of many users from applications we are developing. This could happend soon maybe. But this post should address problems that has caused headache. I encountered this problem during the installation process. Funnily enough that Microsoft does not allow you to remove the previous version (IE7 Beta 1 in my case) if you don’t use the user account that installed that previous version. Even I logged in using administrator account, it still wasn’t able to remove and update to IE7.

After about hours of confusion I found a post addressing the same problem and its solution. After that I was able to update to IE7.
